Thy Way O Lord, for Ordination, is in the Sanctuary

Women Ordination Advocates Attack Fulcrum7 (Part 1)
The politicizing of a church entity is something that should never happen. Using the church’s influence and media platforms to engage in disingenuous partisanship is an abuse of power.

When Children Dance Sensually in the Church for Jesus
“The coming of Christ will take place in the darkest period of this earth’s history.

Appetite and Salvation: Is There a Link or Legalism?

When Will the Global Split take place Within Adventism?
“Divisions will come in the church. Two parties will be developed” (Selected Messages, Vol. 2, p. 114). The calls for unity have been many.

The Lord Will Work to Prepare a People for His Second Advent
“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” Mathew 11:11. John the Baptist is here referred to by Jesus as the greatest born among men. By today’s standards none of us would ever consider John the Baptist to be the greatest […]
The LGBT+ Agenda is Making More Inroads into Seventh-day Adventist Educational Institutions

Comparing the Compliance Document to the Roman Inquisition is Shameful and Dishonest
Let’s just start by stating the obvious: Comparing the compliance document voted by the General Conference Executive Committee last October to the horrible murders committed at the hands of Roman Inquisitors during the Protestant Reformation is just ignorant and plain ridiculous. Some have actually made this comparison. [1] If you believe that the compliance document is […]

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been engaged in […]
When Social Justice Overrides the Everlasting Gospel
“The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses,—extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Savior attempted no civil reforms.

‘Christian’ Government Leaders in Australia want to Force Christian Schools to Hire Gay Teachers
“Know this also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1. The radical LGBT+ agenda is not about equality, it’s about steamrolling and silencing Christian views.

Don’t Separate God’s Love from His Holiness

Apostasy Left Unchecked Will Only Grow More Aggressively
When apostasy is ignored in the church it will just spin out of control and multiply. This is true in any church and with any people.

Why the Christian Progressive Agenda is the Greatest Threat to the Faith
Secularism, atheism and worldliness are hostile threats to the Christian faith. These are foreign invaders that are constantly attempting to take over the church and influence her decisions.

Holy Hip-Hop Evangelism in Europe?
Christians in Germany are embracing the hip-hop culture and merging these elements with Christianity into a new style of evangelization.
